I think you get the same whether you pay or not. As a paying user you may not see the adds, but I do. >I think a single, inconspicuous banner that promotes only photographic materials is actually a good thing. It lends a professional touch, since most successful commercial sites have banner ads as well. There is nothing inconspicuous, professional or photography related about ads for online casinos, IQ tests, lotteries etc... <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/PnPS-1.jpg> <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/PnPS-2.jpg> <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/PnPS-3.jpg> What's more irritating is that the ad's are those flashy animated type that are kinda hard to ignore. I never had a problem with the text ads that they used to have. Photo.net has for quite a few years been one of my favourite sites for viewing lots of interesting work. But the recent site re-design with the inclusion of obnoxious banner ads pisses me off. So much so that I bought a flickr account instead.
